Laura Ingraham, Facing Boycott, Apologizes for Taunting Parkland Survivor David Hogg
By DANIEL VICTOR MARCH 29, 2018

Laura Ingraham, a Fox News host, apologized under pressure on Thursday for taunting a survivor of the school shooting in Parkland, Fla., as at least four companies confirmed they would pull advertising from her show.

In response, Mr. Hogg, who has rapidly become a prominent advocate for gun-control policies, called on Ms. Ingraham’s advertisers to boycott her show. Four of the companies, TripAdvisor, Wayfair, Nestle and Nutrish, said Thursday they would pull their ads. A fifth, Expedia, said it had recently pulled its advertising but declined to say when.

As news of the boycotts began coming out on Thursday, Ms. Ingraham apologized. “On reflection, in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland,” she said, extending an invitation for Mr. Hogg to appear on the show.

Mr. Hogg said he was unimpressed by the apology.

“She only apologized after we went after her advertisers,” he said. “It kind of speaks for itself.”

3. HaHa! Ingram had to

bow to pressure from David Hogg and the KIDS.

Does that mean she has to shut her face now and won't be able to throw her red meat taunts for her stupid fan base?

racist radio show, or not.

17. Hi Cha, how are you ?

Well, she might (not sure) learn what means being humble and polite to the others.

I have said it on another thread, I truly dislike her. She is arrogant, obnoxious, vain, persuaded she's ahead of everyone else, who has no diploma...Remember Lebron James ?

In fact, she only proves a lack of education, whatever diploma he got. A true piece of human garbage !
